Thanks for your concern and comments!
Yes, we are also willing to have these base code under BSD license.

Note that these code are not Intel files and they come from the kernel community.
Everyone can reach the code at:
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-virtual-ethernet-linux/tree/v1.3.0.
The base code here has the statement of SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 OR MIT).

Thus, we may not be in the good position to re-license these code,
and we didn't find the BSD-licensed version at any open community,
so we just follow the required MIT license as an exception to DPDK.

Regards,
Junfeng
